Hudson/Rip sleeps in the room with our daughter.  He bonded with her very quickly.  We have continued feeding him the same recipe recommended by the trainer which is comprised of kibble, oats, and pumpkin, drizzled with molasses and mixed with chicken gravy.  He’s house trained and always eager to please.  We’ve discovered that he likes to have his front toes rubbed.  He has about an acre to run in behind our house, and he loves to hunt chipmunks and squirrels.  He responds well to commands and always comes back to the door when he’s ready to come inside.  We can’t wait for spring so we can get out and exercise together.

Rip has definitely found his forever home.  He is a very good and sweet boy who just needs some consistent love, and to finally become assured that he won’t ever have to be without a loving forever family again.  He’s laying at my feet while I write this long overdue response.
